 Vietnamese Superstition Strikes AGAIN!

I gave my mom a set of OXO kitchen knives and peelers for Mother's Day.
I got a dollar from her in return.

What?  Yeah.  I was confused too.

Till she told me that it was bad to send someone knives or handkerchiefs.  Apparently it means you want to break off the relationship.  But if you send them a dollar in return as if you were paying for it, then you're fine.

WHAT?

I don't get it.  But you're not supposed to.  It's superstition.  It's irrational.  So I just laughed it off and accepted her dollar.  It was so funny getting one dollar in the mail from my mom.   Maybe I'll give her a 50 cent handkerchief next time and make some profit.  oh yeah!  haha.

(p.s.  she likes the knives and says it cuts really well.  which was the whole point because she's been using the same dull knives for years and accidentally cutting herself because of it.)

there are many other items you shouldn't give people, also because of the same reason, such as fragrance (the feelings will fade), shoes (that person will walk out of your life), tie (can't remember why).  I was told of many other items. if I believe these superstitious stuff, I'm left with only gift cards (which to me, isn't real gift)

Here you go, Mr. Atheist. We can laugh at Allen together.

If I was your mother I would have used the knife to cut the dollar bill in half before sending it to you!
